Solve : video resolution and "Illegal Operation"?

Answer»

It is great to visit such an exciting forum.

I  now have 98 (not the SE) installed and only 2.1 GB H disk with P2 processor and 128 MB RAM.

Previously the OS was 98 SE.

I reformatted it due to some problems and then install 98 only (not SE) and divided the Hdisk into two partition 1 GB each.

after that i found my video screen resolution ( through desktop properties--settings) is only showing 2colors and 16 colors.

then i call my computer manufacturue and he installed the video driver . then the resolution becomes OK. I copied the video driver in D: drive.

My question is if i format my c drive again and reinstall win 98 first edition shall i be able to install the video driver for proper screen resolution from the D: drive?

------------------------------------------------------

next topic:

whenever i run opera after two or three minutes of surfing i see that popping dialogue box "this program has performed an illegal operartion and will be shut down". If i close this my browser's all opened pages close and wheni again run opera it again comes soon. I uninstall and reinstall opera and still the problem persists. i run slimbrowser , it is hppening there also.


I have these memory configuration:

at c: drive

capacity 999mb, used 642mb, free 357 mb

at d: drive

capacity 0.98 GB, used 993 MB, free 18.4 MB

If you consider D: drive 0.98 GB = 980 MB then how it is showing  used 993 MB??

ThanksWell is a waste of ram on a 2.1 gig.
win98 takes up 768mb....even with skining it......

ok.......what did you use to  partiton the h/d with.....

opera....plugin ..for ie....yes..../no.....or did you uninstall ie...The required space may vary from 120 MB to 295 MB, depending on your computer's configuration and the options you choose to install.

Yes or you can easily download them from the net.

Do all the usual scans.
Sometimes a badly written webpage can also cause this.
Click at your own risk, it will probably crash you.

Computers COUNT to a base of 2, we humans use a base of 10. Don't worry about the differences, you only need to know that the numbers are not exact.

Where to download the video driver? It is nVidia 250 NT 4.0 ( for 98  ).

Nvidia driver pagehttp://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=26393

IE 6 SP1, slimbrowser and opera.

I also tried downloading NETSCAPE but it asked for 98 SE
